Site of Petty Royd, Longwood From the name I assume that this was a farmstead made by clearing woodland in the medieval or early modern period. There is very little of the buildings left now.

Stone posts at Petty Royd, Longwood It seems likely that these are tenter posts, but not the usual type. The cloth pieces were stretched between the post and a hook on the wall of a weaver's cottage. (information from Ian Beesley via Chris Allen)

Ruin in the site of Hirst Mill, Longwood  Not enough left to guess what part of the mill this was. Hirst Mill was founded at the end of the 19C, and functioned until the early 20C.
